Judging from Sigrout's actions, it was obvious that he was a player with a strong desire for power.
He was arrogant, condescending, and even self-righteous. He couldn't accept losing to Lifa in the martial arts competition, so he recruited Lifa into his party and made her his subordinate to protect his position and reputation. He even treated Lifa's departure as an unforgivable crime, thinking that his reputation had been tarnished. He even used all sorts of righteous reasons to pester others endlessly. It was obvious that a person like him would never be willing to be ordered around.
That was why even though Sigrout was an indispensable figure in the administrative department, and even though he lost the position of the feudal lord, he didn't feel discouraged and continued to work as an assistant. However, it wasn't because Sigrout was willing to do so, but because he thought that if he didn't do so, he wouldn't be able to maintain his position in the administrative department.
That was why Sigrout had been working as an assistant all this time. It wasn't because he wanted to put his life on the line for the Wind Elves, but because he didn't want to become an ordinary player with no status.
Those who didn't know what was going on would naturally think that Sigrout was doing this out of his own free will. That was why they were deceived and allowed Sigrout to get 30% to 40% of the votes every time. His support rate wasn't low.
If it weren't for that, Rozen really couldn't figure out how that paper tiger could get so much support.
Such a person was definitely ambitious and wouldn't consider the life and death of others.
So, naturally, this guy betrayed them.
"I think he wasn't a spy from the start, but was incited recently."
Shuo Ye said in a deep voice.
"In the past three to four months, Sigrout's actions have become more anxious and restless. It's obvious that he's plotting something in the dark."
That was why Raegan noticed his abnormality.
"Because I don't want people to call me a dictator, I've always adhered to the parliamentary system and let Sigrout, who has a lot of support, hold an important position to show the public that I'm fair. But if I think about it carefully, perhaps it's because of my indulgence that he thinks I'm easy to deal with and isn't scary at all. In the end, he chose to betray me."
Shuo Ye speculated about Sigrout's mental state.
"Not only does he pursue his character's numerical abilities, but he also desperately strives for all the authority a player can obtain. He definitely can't accept the fact that the Wind Elves are suppressed by the Fire Elves, and he can't accept the fact that I'm unable to lead the Wind Elves to make a comeback and make the Wind Elves the strongest race. He can't even accept the fact that he's under someone else."
Shuo Ye sighed.
"Unfortunately, in order to conquer the World Tree and complete the final mission, the Fire Elves reincarnated as Light Elves and completely dominated the skies of Alpheim. A few months ago, they started collecting funds without restraint and treated the Wind Elves as prey. When Sigrout saw this, he definitely couldn't hold back.
That was why Sigrout had become so anxious and restless in recent months.
Seeing the Wind Elves being suppressed by the Fire Elves, Sigrout couldn't bear it.
Seeing Shuo Ye do nothing, Sigrout couldn't bear it.
Seeing the Fire Elves make such a big move in order to become Light Elves, Sigrout couldn't bear it either.
If the Fire Elves succeeded, Alpheim would become the Fire Elves' backyard. The Wind Elves, who were hostile to the Fire Elves, would definitely be suppressed. At that time, he could only look up at them from the ground and be bullied like a weakling. How could Sigrout bear this?
As a result, Sigrout had embarked on the path of betrayal.
"He must have been instigated by Montifer, right?" Shuo Ye said with certainty, "That person has always been ruthless. He once plotted to kill the Wind Elven Lord. This time, in order to conquer the World Tree and suppress the Wind Elves, he would instigate people to betray us. It's not hard to imagine."
Sigrout had been chosen by Montifer.
"As long as you hand over the Lord's head, you'll be reincarnated as a Fire Elf and become one of the higher-ups of the Fire Elves. Montifer must have instigated Sigrout to betray us."
Shuo Ye's words caused everyone to be shocked.
Even Rozen was taken aback. He looked at Shuo Ye.
"In this game, it's still possible to change races and reincarnate into another race?"
Rozen had never heard of such a thing.
But Shuo Ye had said so.
"I heard that in a while, the game's developers will import a new update file and connect it to the reincarnation system, allowing players to reincarnate into other races. However, it will require a very shocking amount of Ulut, and not many players can afford it."
Shuo Ye explained the reason behind this, and also explained why Sigrout would sell his life to the Fire Elves.
It was definitely because Sigrout alone couldn't afford this amount of money. That was why Montifer had seized the opportunity and promised to help him reincarnate. That was why Sigrout was moved.
"If he can reincarnate, then he can immediately become a member of the strongest force in the ALO, and even become one of the higher-ups of the Fire Elves. Perhaps if the Fire Elves succeed in conquering the World Tree, he can even reincarnate into a Light Elf and look down on the players of other races from the sky. With Sigrout's personality, he definitely won't be able to resist the temptation."
At this point, Shuo Ye no longer sighed. Instead, she seemed to have seen through everything.
The other Wind Elves also stopped talking about Sigrout. They were probably completely disappointed in him.
"What an idiot," Lifa said in a low voice. "If he really can't stand being a Wind Elf, then he can create a new Fire Elf account and jump ship to the Fire Elves' side."
Such a statement made Alisa throw up her hands.
"Didn't Shuo Ye already say that that person not only pursues power and status as a player, but also ability values?" Alisa said as if it had nothing to do with her. "A character that has been played since the dawn of the ALO until now, even if items, money, and equipment can be transferred, the skill proficiency that he painstakingly increased can't be transferred. Anyone would hesitate when they think that they still have to work hard for more than a year to train their character."
This wasn't like a computer game, where players could train multiple characters at the same time. Players could only invest in one character, or else they would all be half-baked.
In order not to waste more than a year of effort and time, Sigrout naturally chose to betray and take the risk out of desperation.
"I was almost set up by such a person, causing our race to fall into trouble. I really can't accept it."
Alisa looked at Shuo Ye.
Seeing this, Shuo Ye let out a bitter laugh and said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation, and an explanation to the Cat Demons."
These words didn't make Alisa feel at ease.
"What do you want to do?"
Alisa asked.
Shuo Ye said without hesitation.
"I will expel him from the territory and make him a traitor."
